Just writing to put in a plug for snus, the Swedish version of snuff that--drumroll!--requires no spitting. I'm a longtime pipesmoker, but I discovered snus about 9 months ago and started using it to cut back dramatically on my smoking. I found snus to be a very satisfying substitute. It has replaced much of my smoking, and, of course, I can enjoy it in many, many places where smoking is forbidden. (It's great to satisfy my urge to get some nicotine and tobacco flavor while at my desk at work, in a movie theatre, in a meeting, or on a plane! It really, really makes airline travel much more bearable. (O.K., almost bearable.))
I am fortunate to live in an area where Camel Snus is being test marketed, and it is my preferred version of the product. I have a sweet tooth, and the Camel version satisfies it admirably. I have also sampled a wide variety of authentic Swedish versions. For my taste, I prefer the Camel. The Swedish versions are uniformly less sweet, and most have a somewhat salty taste. So, the particular version is a matter of taste. But the convenience of having a way to enjoy real tobacco wherever you want while producing no smoke and no spit is great.
Three weeks ago I got an e-pipe. I am enjoying that very much, and it has largely replaced most of the pipesmoking I still did. (I still smoke 1 real pipe on a typical day.) But I still plan to keep using snus also, both because I just enjoy it and because it can be used inconspicuously situations where even e-smoking might draw unwanted attention.
